Sight & Sound Theatres

Our family has travelled to Lancaster since 1973...the magnificent building makes you feel like you are in the Middle East. This fall, we saw the most amazing production of Jesus that left us breathless! It was the most incredible experience watching this live production with so many characters and beautiful animals. We plan another trip to see Esther in early spring 2020...the plays leave you in a state of serenity and harmony. The productions merit a five star review for each play presented at this unique theatre. Looking forward to many more visits to the Sight and Sound Theatre in our favorite quaint town in Lancaster, PA

Countryside Road Stand

Smack dab in the middle of Amish country is this wonderful country store. This is far from the maddening crowd of the Route 30 tourist shops. I've been here a few times, and while it's always busy, it's also always a comfortable place to browse around the shop, or treat yourself to excellent pretzels or ice cream. In addition, there's lots of good, homemade choices of eggs, cheese, butter, pies, pastries, and other desserts. Oh, and they offer canned fruits, vegetables, and relishes as well. Not hungry? No problem. Look around at their "quillows" and other hand-made quilts and crafts. They even sell rugs, baskets, and cloth books, along with Amish dolls. Finally, I saw a whole bunch of different types of bird houses and gourds for sale. It's really a great place to hang out for a bit as you make your way around the back roads in this beautiful area of Amish country. If you're looking specifically for this place, you'll probably want to use your GPS. Otherwise, you might be riding along these roads for a long time! It's worth the visit, and there are other neat places in the area as well to visit while you're here.

The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is a must see when out in Lancaster County! It's also a great tour on a hot day in the summer! It's a fascinating walk through time and to think about these enormous beauties at the height of their popularity. My husband is a train enthusiast so I enjoyed my own personal tour guide! Across the road is the Strasburg Railroad where tour rides are are available but we ran out of time. Definitely will be worth a return trip!

Love this old time shoe store. Can not find a wide shoe anywhere and they have it. You will find Amish clothing, under garments, socks and a nice selection of music on cd’s. Leroy (the owner) is a pretty nice man and ready to help you. It’s a nice experience coming into Leacock Shoe Store
